Just curious, does it even affect your weight?

Cos weight is tied to gravity, and I dun think it change during an eclipse. Do correct me if I am wrong.

Tides rises and falls under the influence of the Moon position around earth. The Sun will also have a definite influence , which in when all these 3 bodies line up, would be the highest tidal influence. I [highlight=red]suspect[/highlight] a free moving body will weight slightly lesser under that condition. Weight equals to mass times gravity.
